Reachin (A New Refutation of Time and Space) – 25th Anniversary Edition Digable Planets SKU: MCR924LP Barcode: 826853092418 35.00 £35.00 Genre: Rap / Hip Hop Label: Modern Classics / Light In The Attic Released Date: 4th June 2021 Buying Format: 2LP Out of stock Back Order Add to your Wishlist Description Product Info At a time when hip-hop was determined to snap your neck, a young, hip trio from Brooklyn (by way of Seattle, Philly, and Brazil) conspired on an uncommonly smooth new sound and freaky way of speak, a titanically chill expression of Black bohemia loaded with jazz idiom and a subversive Marxist bent—and pushed it worldwide via an undeniable crossover hit. Digable Planets’ 1993 debut, Reachin’ (A New Refutation of Time and Space), unexpected to all involved, produced a massive radio hit in “Rebirth Of Slick (Cool Like Dat)”, which won the 1994 Grammy for Best Rap Performance by Duo or Group. Unduly lumped into an “alternative rap” subgenre they chafed at, the Dig Plans were dismissed by some as one-hit wonders, coming out of nowhere; but the Digable Planets concept, and what became Reachin’, had been in the works for close to five years, as group leader Ishmael “Butterfly” Butler wrote music and soaked up game in multiple cities, navigating the industry of hip-hop’s golden age. In the end, Butler, Mary Anne “Ladybug Mecca” Vieira, and Craig “Doodlebug” Irving came together to create a seamlessly articulated vision of urbane hiphop cool with an uncommonly literary bent that subtly pushed the hip-hop genre’s frames of reference and added breadth to rap music’s burgeoning political philosophy. Drawing on inspiration from Butler’s jazzbo father, the Black Panthers, Jose Luis-Borges, the Last Poets, and Jimi Hendrix, Reachin’ posited a theory of “universal beats”, narrated by three unearthly MC’s that had “split to Earth to resurrect the funk”, assuming curious, arthropodic aliases—a nod to the natural collective action of the insect world. In just four years the crew would record two beloved and ambitious LPs before disbanding. Out of print on wax domestically since 1993, Reachin’ captures one of the last gasps of rap music’s jazzy, upbeat adolescence in the early 90’s—those warm, blissed-out grooves every bit as slick as when they were laid way back when. Put this on, roll up with your crew and bug out again with the insect tribe. * First vinyl reissue * Expanded as a double LP for improved sound * Deep liner notes by Larry Mizell Jr. interviewing Ishmael “Butterfly” Butler * Lyrics included for the first time * 2xLP housed in a deluxe wide spine jacket with booklet and printed inner sleeves Artist Digable Planets Genre Rap / Hip Hop Label Modern Classics / Light In The Attic Buying Options 2LP Format 2LP Condition New Country United Kingdom Track Listings It's Good To Be Here Pacifics Where I'm From What Cool Breezes Do Time & Space (A New Refutation Of) Rebirth Of Slick (Cool Like Dat) Last Of The Spiddyocks Jimmi Diggin Cats La Femme Fétal 10 Escapism (Gettin' Free) Appointment At The Fat Clinic Nickel Bags Swoon Units Examination Of What Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Digable Planets and more from Rap / Hip Hop View Product Quick View Digable Planets Blowout Comb Rap / Hip Hop | Modern Classics | 2LP Released 20th May 2013 £24.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Digable Planets Blowout Comb £24.00 Genre: Rap / Hip Hop Label: Modern Classics SKU: MCR905 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 20th May 2013 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Wu-Tang Clan Wu Tang Forever Rap / Hip Hop | We Are Vinyl | 4LP Released 2nd June 2017 £38.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Wu-Tang Clan Wu Tang Forever £38.00 Genre: Rap / Hip Hop Label: We Are Vinyl SKU: 88985417941 Formats: 4LP Released Date: 2nd June 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Naughty By Nature 19 Naughty III Rap / Hip Hop | Tommy Boy | 2LP Released 28th July 2023 £27.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Naughty By Nature 19 Naughty III £27.00 Genre: Rap / Hip Hop Label: Tommy Boy SKU: TB52721 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 28th July 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Archy Marshall A New Place 2 Drown Rap / Hip Hop | XL Recordings | 1LP Released 23rd September 2016 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Archy Marshall A New Place 2 Drown £16.00 Genre: Rap / Hip Hop Label: XL Recordings SKU: XLLP750 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 23rd September 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Paul's picks View Product Quick View Kid Koala Some Of My Best Friends Are DJs – 20th Anniversary Edition Rap / Hip Hop | Ninja Tune | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released 6th October 2023 £24.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Kid Koala Some Of My Best Friends Are DJs – 20th Anniversary Edition £24.00 Genre: Rap / Hip Hop Label: Ninja Tune SKU: ZEN82R Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released Date: 6th October 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Ultramagnetic MC's Ced Gee X Kool Keith Rap / Hip Hop | Wienerworld | 1LP Released 9th June 2023 £26.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Ultramagnetic MC's Ced Gee X Kool Keith £26.00 Genre: Rap / Hip Hop Label: Wienerworld SKU: RN1024 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 9th June 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Run The Jewels RTJ Rap / Hip Hop | Seeker Music | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 4th November 2022 £22.00 - £23.00 Select options Run The Jewels RTJ £22.00 - £23.00 Genre: Rap / Hip Hop Label: Seeker Music Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 4th November 2022 Read More Select options View Product Quick View ScHoolboy Q BLUE LIPS Rap / Hip Hop | Interscope | 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 26th April 2024 £35.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders ScHoolboy Q BLUE LIPS £35.00 Genre: Rap / Hip Hop Label: Interscope SKU: 6519463 Formats: 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 26th April 2024 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View JPEGMAFIA Ghost Pop Tape Rap / Hip Hop | Godmode | 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 8th March 2024 £44.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders JPEGMAFIA Ghost Pop Tape £44.00 Genre: Rap / Hip Hop Label: Godmode SKU: JP203 Formats: 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 8th March 2024 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View CoN & KwAkE Eyes In The Tower Rap / Hip Hop | Native Rebel Recordings | 2LP Released 29th July 2022 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders CoN & KwAkE Eyes In The Tower £22.00 Genre: Rap / Hip Hop Label: Native Rebel Recordings SKU: NRR0004 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 29th July 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Pusha T Daytona Rap / Hip Hop | Virgin Records | 180g, 1LP Released 31st August 2018 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Pusha T Daytona £22.00 Genre: Rap / Hip Hop Label: Virgin Records SKU: 7821164 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 31st August 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Rap / Hip Hop Start again
